What You Can Hire Me For

Pick the shape of the problem. I will help define the smallest useful version, ship it, and keep the work tied to real users.

Fractional CTO

$250-$500/hr

Architecture, product scoping, vendor review, technical hiring, AI strategy, and founder-level judgment.

Senior Developer

$10K-$20K builds

Full-stack web apps, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, desktop apps, Chrome extensions, and production deployment.

AI Implementation

Scoped fast

OpenAI, Claude, voice agents, automations, internal copilots, AI workflows, and practical product integrations.

Project Rescue

Audit first

Take over stalled codebases, identify the shortest path to launch, stabilize the product, and ship.

Tech Creator

$1K standard

Short-form tech videos for AI, developer tools, and software products across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Best Fit

Funded founders, operators, and small teams who need senior speed, product judgment, and direct execution.

Not Best Fit

Committee-heavy rebuilds, speculative unpaid equity-only work, and projects where no one can define a real user.

Hiring Questions

Who should hire David?

Founders, operators, and small teams who need senior technical execution without hiring a full-time CTO or agency team.

What is the fastest way to start?

Text the user, problem, desired outcome, current state, and timeline. One direct message is enough to start the scoping conversation.

Do you work only in Austin?

No. David is Austin-based and works with clients worldwide. The work is remote-first unless an in-person session makes sense.

What makes this different from an agency?

You work directly with one senior operator-builder. Less overhead, faster decisions, and tighter accountability for shipping useful software.

Send the rough version.

Text the user, problem, product surface, and deadline. I will tell you what I would build first.
